Is it possible to use @replace string function with a wildcard? If not, does anyone have an idea how to do what I'm trying to do?

I am trying to strip off the path information so I have just the Eviews workfile name.

%wfpath = "C:\work\Eviews\q2fy10_sys.wf1"
%wf = @replace(%wfpath,"*\","")

I would expect replacement to remove all characters up to and including the last backslash so that %wf is equal to q2fy10_sys.wf1

Does not seem to work...

TIA

No, it doesn't work that way (nor could it, logically).

If you know that your path has 3 slashes in it, then you can use @instr and @mid to do what you want:

Code: Select all


%wfpath = "C:\work\Eviews\q2fy10_sys.wf1"
%wf = @mid(%wfpath, @instr(%wfpath, "\", 3)+1)

and if the path is longer than 3 slashes?

Code: Select all


%wfpath = "C:\work\Eviews\q2fy10_sys.wf1"
%wf = %wfpath
!pos = @instr(%wf, "\")
while !pos>0
   %wf = @mid(%wf, !pos+1)
   !pos = @instr(%wf, "\")
wend

Or something along those lines.
